In Blaine's defense, he is a Fire-type specialist though.
Against Blaine's cause; Lava and magma have nothing to do with fire. Both are just hot.

Eeeeeeey, welcome to Reborn DM.
And thanks for the mention too, appreciate it. -
Buongiorno people of Reborn! How's it going? Well I'm hoping. So, about that title; as some of you may remember from my introduction I'm currently doing a masters degree and it's come to that time of year where I need to do a dissertation... Joy... Anyway, whinging about it aside, unlike my last one which was totally field work based - I could get away with standing in a field for a week more or less to collect data - this time I actually need to be somewhat sociable. Which is where you; the lovely people of Reborn come in.
If this topic doesn't fall into Trainer's Journal, I apologise and ask that a mod or other staff member helps me out with relocating it to the appropriate forum.
Like I said earlier; unlike my last one which was entirely field work based, this one requires collecting data from people in order for me to gauge public perceptions regarding online piracy. Of course, it's entirely up to you whether you wish to participate or not. The survey itself will take as little as five minutes.
For those of you that choose to participate, I am obliged to inform you that all data collected is entirely anonymous, data provided is stored in accordance with the UK Data Protection Act 1998, and by submitting your survey you are therefore giving consent to have your results used.
The study is awaiting approval from University College London's Research Ethics Committee, however I have been reassured by the Department of Security and Crime Science that it will be approved. In the unlikely event that it is not approved, all data collected will be destroyed. Once the study has been concluded and the final report submitted, the data will be destroyed by December 2016. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to message me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you to all those that do choose to participate in it, the survey itself can be found here: http://goo.gl/forms/tQzVR4P3CzuDU6AA3
Please note, the questionnaire will cease accepting responses on 16th July this year at 23:59 GMT.

Kinda difficult for a guy with an FT character as their avi and part time editor of the wiki not to notice it.
However, I suspect that Titannia's name is derived more from the metal Titanium than it is of the Shakespearean Queen of the Fairies.
-
Florinia was easiest for me and Shade was probably the most difficult - however, he was also the most entertaining battle(s).

Come at me bro ୧( ಠ Д ಠ )୨

Go for it, make my day. \( .__.)/

@Foamy. If you're that desperate to know why it's not 20 episodes, I refer you to this interview Ame did a year and a half ago;

I called Natsu's real identity as soon as E.N.D came around in the Tartaros Arc and now I'm waiting to hear about the NEXT relevant arc.
Trust me on this, you weren't the only one who called it :3
Oh, and I hate Zoldeo, fire him asap, we want him ded.
And I think we all agree that Brandie will be converted to Fairy Tail. That relationship with Lucy is too strong to be an enemy.
Rest assured, he dead, as of the Tenrou Island arc.
You're saying that about Brandy, but someone brought up a good point on the wiki about could Brandy tempt Lucy to join Alvarez? Doubt it's likely to happen, but to be honest, I don't really care where Brandy-chan ends up; I'm going to love her regardless <3

Welcome one and all to a discussion forum for all things Fairy Tail. Hoping that there's a sizeable fan community here to discuss the latest chapters, happenings and what not.
Feel free to hypothesize, theorize, talk about the characters, settings, plots, even the foibles if you absolutely feel it needs to be said.
So; go HAM and let your imaginations run wild! Be warned anime only viewers though, as spoilers may be ahead for ye.
P.S. Yes I know that this is awfully similar to the One Piece thread ( >.<)

Eh might as well add my two penneth in for the anime list:
1: Code Geass, R1, R2 and Akito the Exiled
2: Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
3: Danganronpa
4: Black Lagoon
5: Log Horizon, Seasons 1 and 2
6: Puella Magi Madoka Magica
7: Shaman King
8: Highschool of the Dead/Infinite Stratos 2
9: High School DxD
10: Kill la Kill
Ugh, having a top 10 is really stretching it. >.<
I'd put Fairy Tail in, but as I hate the current animation studio's depiction of it, that's been struck off.

TIL, or rather remembered; that kids who are hyper-active suffer from sub-optimal arousal, and are subsequently treated - counter intuitively - with stimulants.
-
Regarding the point about Charlotte being a gym leader whilst in the orphanage, wasn't Cal supposed to be the fire type gym leader before it was entrusted to Charlotte? Also, if Laura was originally *spoilers* a member of the Elite 4, how could she have kept her position whilst under Sigmund's 'ahem' care? Just some food for thought.

I'm terrible at coming up with nicknames for Pokemon, seriously, if I ever have a child I might just leave naming them up to the mother cuz I'm that bad >.<
Having said that, some of my favourites include;
- Fleet - Gliscor
- Wood - Mamoswine
- Mac - Excadrill
As part of a mono-ground team I ran in White 2, meanwhile the Dragon team were named after things from Arthurian legend, so we had;
- Gawain - Dragonite
- Lynette - Hydreigon
- Guinevere - Kingdra
- Griflet - Flygon
- Excalibur - Haxorus
- Nivian - Druddigon
In Pokemon Y, a couple of friends really liked my Garchomp's nickname; Fulcrum, for reasons I don't know.
Another one I had was a Staraptor named Typhoon. Anyone who knows fighter jets will hopefully understand that one.
My favourite one that I can remember though is my Toxicroak from White 2, which was called Elbow, because I caught it, literally the ball clicked, right as a song by the band Elbow, that I was listening to at the time, finished.

Seeing as how the authorities allowed Dr. Connell to conduct ECT upon the minors in his care, it would appear that the authorities of Reborn have always been leaving something to be desired.
With regards to the other gym leaders pre and post Gen-V, it is certainly upsetting that they're left as nothing more than glorified checkpoints in the game. As has been said, Satoshi Tajiri stated that the Pokemon Adventures manga was the best representation of the world he'd envisioned the games to be like. All one has to do is read the battles of the Kanto and Johto gym leaders and the subsequent conclusion to the plot of the GSC arc to see just how amazing the characters are.

If for any reason you'd like yet another opinion, drop a pm my way. Especially if you need help with descriptions or writing descriptive scenes.

My new year's resolution is the same as it's been for the past five years; don't have new years resolutions. Works every time.

7/10, don't recognise the character at all, but stuff's on fire in it. Fire automatically makes everything better. :3

Only ever been to Reddit on whims or if friends have showed me stuff there. I hate the layout of reddit and it's damn near impossible for me to try and find my way around the place. Plus the only reddit community I've ever really tried to understand kinda just shit on another fan community like it and yet was more than happy to try and plagiarise content from the very same community they were shitting on to try and make their's better. So not a fan of Reddit based off of that.
4Chan though, from an outside perspective with little experience dealing with it just always sounds like a country ruled by anarchists. Having said that, if there's one - arguably - good thing to come out of 4chan, it's Anonymous. Even though they might've revolutionised online organised crime, they've certainly done some good things online as well as their morally questionable stuff.

Welcome Spoon, can't really help with advising your fourth run sadly, but it's nice to meet another martial artist and master's student
-
Welcome, I am Amateur. Hoi and welcome to Reborn.
Dayum, you doin master? Good luck and all that.
You have an interest in french? I have to learn it, but I would prefer chinese or anything like that. So which are all the languages you want to learn and why?^-^
You attempt to draw stuff? Did you make the avatar? Can we see some drawings? :3
So you're a grumpy git? At least you can confess it and you are self aware enough to notice this.
I am grumpy too. Sometimes. Other times not so grump.
Thank you Amateur, if I listed all the languages I'd like to learn we'd be here till next year, but I suppose the reasons I'd like to learn Russian and Japanese is just because the cultures fascinate me and the people - at least the one's I've met - are incredibly hospitable and it just feels rude not being able to speak to them in their native language.
Eeeeh... ^_^" you can find some of my drawings on my DA (same user name), but be warned that there is NSFW literature on it by me, and I don't advise anyone under 18 looking at my favs there... As for the avi, I wish I could draw as well as the artist/author who designed Brandish, she's by a mangaka called Hiro Mashima, author of RAVE and Fairy Tail as well as a myriad of lesser known works.
Everyone can be grumpy, I just happen to be such a realist that optimists mistake it for pessimism... the bastards.

Thank you the welcoming messages everyone, glad that everyone here seems to be the anti-Fern
(though the use of red text in your Original Post kind of disturbs me, but it's not a big deal)D: ;w; Sorry Alchemi, didn't mean to disturb anyone with the text colour ( _ _)
Heeeello, welcome to the forums!
Omg, so you write fix. More fics to read then \o\
I̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶n̶k̶ ̶I̶'̶v̶e̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶n̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶n̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶f̶a̶n̶f̶i̶c̶t̶i̶o̶n̶.̶n̶e̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶f̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶i̶d̶k̶
Nice *cough* goddess *cough* Brandish icon though ~
The Community Rules are right under your profile pic and above the... I'm really bad at explanations so I'm just gonna link it for you: Community Rules
When you have time, pass by our Showdown Server! Then we can know you more, yayz
I do indeed, and thank you for pointing me to it Kuma. Only thing I can imagine you'd see my name for on ff.net is for a CHERUB work I did, don't know >.<
Wohoo, another Brandy fan \(
)/ I may pop along to the Showdown Server from time to time :3You sound like you've got some interesting interests! Good luck with your masters degree as well!
The community rules are here: http://www.pokemonreborn.com/battle/rules.html
Hope to see you around!
Thank you too, mde
Welcome to Reborn. Please leave your sanity on the left, and your freedom on the right. You're here forever.
Sanity...? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the term, is it edible?
Welcome Dex. If anything is unclear about how to interact here on the forums feel free to shoot me a PM, it's kind of my job to help with that but I'd be doing it if it wasn't anyway. Geology huh? That takes me back, I majored in geology when I was an undergrad, wasn't all that good at it though. Then I did an honours year in something fossil related and... well it was really hard to cut it short, good but hard. With that in mind good luck with your masters!
G'day Sheep, thank you for the offer, I might have to take you up on that offer as forums are a total minefield to me.
Good God, another geologist D: Without wishing to sound arrogant, I hated geology, I just happened to be good at it >.< 'fossil-' please don't swear at me like that ( ;_
And thank you also -
Yo, it's a pleasure to be joining you all here at Reborn, and I look forward to meeting you guys, girls, and persons of non-binary distinction.
My pseudonym is Derax, or Dex for short if you'd prefer.
As I'm sure is the case with a lot of people here, I have shofu to thank for showcasing Pokemon Reborn on youtube, which eventually led me here, where I've been a bit stalkerish until now, having finally made an account.
Just going to say this now; I'm sorry for the number of times I use the word 'I,' or variations of, in my posts.
Now with that out the way, allow me to divulge a little bit about myself;
- At the time of posting this I'm doing a master's degree
- I've a bachelor's degree in something geology related
- I've an interest in foreign languages: Japanese, Russian, Spanish and French to name a few
(can't speak much of any mind) - I frequently write stuff, namely fanfictions
- Occasionally I attempt to draw stuff
- Rarely I'm funny
- I'm a self confessed grumpy git
And that about sums me up atm. If you want to know anything more about me, or just have a chat; you can often find me on the Fairy Tail wiki chat, and if you'd like to have a read of any of my current
(read; dead)fanfics, you can find my fanfiction.net account under the pseudonym Durecel.If there's a forum/thread somewhere with the rules of engagement here, I'd be most appreciative if someone could point me in its direction. Thank you.
Is this team okay? (OU)
in Pokémon Fan Club
Posted
I'm no expert when it comes to OU, but if anything before you go through all the trouble of breeding.
I'd suggest making the team as you see fit, baring what the previous two suggestions made in mind and make the team in Pokemon Showdown to test it out, then make appropriate changes based on performances.
If I was still into the faff of IV breeding and what-not, that's what I'd do. Up to you though.
